Budget: 1000 USD Deadline: 25 days
Hello!
I am interested in the development of HelpMap. Regarding technologies, I fully agree with using React Native for cross-platform development (Android + iOS from a single codebase); this is the optimal choice for an application of this type.
I would like to note separately: I already have a ready-made application in React Native, which is currently in the process of being uploaded to the App Store and Google Play, meaning I have fresh practical experience of the full cycle: from development to passing store moderation (which often becomes a separate non-trivial stage for new developer accounts, especially for iOS).
As for the architecture of HelpMap, it is essentially a marketplace application with geolocation (map, nearby search, chat, ratings/reviews), with a logic similar to Uber-like services. The stack I usually use for such projects is:
Frontend: React Native
Backend: Node.js + Express
Database: PostgreSQL/MongoDB (depending on data structure)
Photo storage: S3-compatible storage
Notifications: Firebase Cloud Messaging
Admin panel: separate web application (React/Next.js)
I am ready to discuss the details. Do you have a technical specification/brief with a more detailed description of the functionality (user roles, monetization, requirements for chat and maps) so that I can provide a more accurate estimate of timelines and budget?
